Angel of their dreams...Professionals Launch Support Group, DAAG, for
Dapo Abiodun *Vow to mobilize electorate for him. A coterie of young
professionals drawn from diverse backgrounds has launched the Dapo
Abiodun Alliance Group (DAAG) with a mandate to propagate the ideals and
vision of Prince (Dr) Dapo Abiodun, the All Progressives Congress, APC,
candidate in the 2019 governorship election in Ogun State.
Launched
at a colorful ceremony at Olusegun Obasanjo Library in Abeokuta, the
Ogun State capital, Friday, November 30th, ahead of the kick off of
governorship campaigns, a statement signed by the spokesperson of the
group, Victor Alaba Ganzallo, a marketing communications expert, averred
that the cardinal objective of the DAAG is the mass enlightenment of
voters in order for them to make informed decisions that would bear
tangible democratic dividends.
The
statement reads, “We are a self-funded, not-for-profit group whose only
interest is to make the people of Ogun State know that if they want a
governor that has the character, competence, local and international
connections and vision to take the state forward, unify party members
after the factious party primary and lead selflessly; a man that has
their interests at heart, Dr Dapo Abiodun is the man.”It also states,
“For us to have come together to form this group underscores the
unanimity of our belief that Dr Abiodun’s entrepreneurial successes and
strong commitment to good governance, fairness and prosperity for all
make him a very well-rounded candidate for the office of governor. It is
for these reasons that our group, the DAAG, undertakes to galvanise and
mobilize human and material resources for him across the length and
breadth of the state to achieve success in 2019.”
The
statement posits further, “We are not oblivious of the fact that the
task before us is arduous considering the political atmosphere in the
state. However, we firmly believe that it is a surmountable challenge
that requires the collective efforts of people of good conscience whose
love and passion for a more prosperous Ogun State is not in doubt.”While
highlighting the composition of the DAAG, the statement clarifies that
members are not necessarily from the state; “We are young successful
professionals united by a shared reverence for the inspirational
leadership of Dr Abiodun and feel that none of the other contenders can
tie his shoelace in a free and fair contest. We also feel that the
indigenes would be doing themselves a world of good by voting for the
APC in the general election. The electorate needs to know the good
fortune that is in stock for them with an Ogun State led by one of
Nigeria’s most successful businessmen.”While promising that the group
would unveil some of its other plans as electioneering intensifies, the
statement concludes that Dr Abiodun has well-defined and fully developed
plans for addressing major issues bedevilling the state and would hit
the ground running when elected.
